“…While both waves were initially intended to take place in‐person, the second wave was conducted remotely via Zoom in the spring of 2020 to accommodate for the economic, health, and education inequities exacerbated due to the viral spread of the COVID‐19 pandemic (Okonkwo et al, 2021; Watson et al, 2020). In particular, CLD immigrant families experiencing employment loss and disruption (Borjas & Cassidy, 2020; Saenz et al, 2021), housing evictions (Sills & Rich, 2021), and limited supports which resulted CLD immigrant caregivers tasked with replicating healthcare and special educational services at home in a foreign language (Garbe et al, 2020; Hurwitz et al, 2021; Logan et al, 2021). Focus groups ranged from 2 to 3 h, and each participant was given a $60 gift card for their participation in each session.…”

Despite US federal legislation mandates institutions to provide meaningful access and participation to students and families in educational settings, culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) families and caregivers of children in special education experience cultural and linguistic barriers. A Community Advisory Team (CAT) of parents, advocates, community interpreters and translators, researchers, and teachers explored CLD families' experiences and advocacy efforts. Critical bifocality and circuits of dispossession, privilege, and resistance informed the documentation of inequities and resistance to understand the linkages of structural arrangements of power. Focus groups with families (n = 21) speakers of Spanish, Portuguese, and Cantonese were conducted. Findings indicate perceived discrimination, poor and inadequate interpretation and translation services impact children's access to special education services, hinder family's communication with schools and reduce the perceptions of schools as trustworthy institutions. Families advocate relentlessly for their children and recommend schools listen to families and hire culturally and linguistically competent interpreters and translators. Community psychologists can make significant contributions to promote language justice in education settings through participatory approaches to inquiry that value CLD families' knowledge and expertise

Objectives This study examines the resiliency of the Latino Mortality paradox during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are used to compute the ratio of Latino-to-white all-causes death rates for adults aged 45 and older, nationally and among 13 U.S. states with Latino populations greater than one million. Results Nationally, the Latino mortality paradox persisted in 2020 and 2021. However, there was significant variation across states. We document three distinct patterns of COVID-19 mortality across 13 U.S. states: 1) the disappearance of the Latino mortality paradox, 2) the persistence of the Latino mortality paradox, and 3) the disappearance in 2020 and reemergence in 2021 of the Latino mortality paradox. Discussion COVID-19 Mortality has disproportionately affected mid- and late-life Latinos, although the disparities relative to whites have narrowed. We discuss the dynamics influencing the waning and waxing of the Latino mortality paradox.
